00:00.000 --> 00:14.640
This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 3,786 from Monday, 6 February 2023.

00:14.640 --> 00:21.040
Today's show is entitled, HPR Community News for January 2023.

00:21.040 --> 00:24.840
It is part of the series HPR Community News.

00:24.840 --> 00:30.640
It is hosted by HPR Volunteers and is about 48 minutes long.

00:30.640 --> 00:33.440
It carries an explicit flag.

00:33.440 --> 00:42.440
The summary is, HPR Volunteers talk about shows released and comments posted in January 2023.

00:42.440 --> 00:50.360
Hello everybody, this is Dave Morris, and I'm recording a show for Hacker Public Radio

00:50.360 --> 00:57.360
which is the community news for January 2023.

00:57.360 --> 01:06.720
I'm on my own this time because Ken's in Brussels at Fosdem, and nobody else was available,

01:06.720 --> 01:10.880
or he said it didn't ask enough people to see if they were available to be honest, to help

01:10.880 --> 01:11.880
me out with this.

01:11.880 --> 01:15.440
So it's going to be a solo effort.

01:15.440 --> 01:19.880
I think the universe is conspiring against this a little bit.

01:19.880 --> 01:27.520
I just connected to the mumble server to try and record there, but Ken's connected his

01:27.520 --> 01:39.080
phone to it, and it's broadcasting the chat at the free culture podcast booth that we're

01:39.080 --> 01:40.880
running this year.

01:40.880 --> 01:47.480
Oh, I can't get word in edge ways, and he's so busy, he's not able to hear hear me or

01:47.480 --> 01:54.560
spot that I'm sending messages, so standalone is the way today.

01:54.560 --> 02:00.240
So, in case you don't know what this is all about, this is the community news show which

02:00.240 --> 02:07.600
we have every month, it comes up on the first Monday of each month, and we record it

02:07.600 --> 02:10.920
on the Saturday before that, usually.

02:10.920 --> 02:19.800
And what we do here is we have a sort of recipe, a fairly strict format, where we go through

02:19.800 --> 02:28.480
all the shows that have been submitted and broadcast in the past month, and we to a quick

02:28.480 --> 02:34.240
review of those, look at the comments, read the comments, and then we do a few other things

02:34.240 --> 02:42.880
like introduce any new hosts, and we look at anything on the mailing list and any

02:42.880 --> 02:51.240
other business, so that's what I'm going to do, so we'll start with looking at any new hosts

02:51.240 --> 03:01.400
we have, and we indeed have a new host this month, and it's any stellar show I should

03:01.400 --> 03:12.400
be commenting on shortly, so going on from there to the first show of the month, on the first

03:12.400 --> 03:20.560
show of the month was the community news for December, and we don't usually get comments

03:20.560 --> 03:25.240
on these, I actually say something really laughed or controversial, and we didn't do

03:25.240 --> 03:33.720
either those things, so nothing to say about that one particular, 3762 is the next show,

03:33.720 --> 03:41.040
which is entitled, Existence is Pain, and it's from operator, and he's talking about

03:41.040 --> 03:50.400
various problems from repetitive strain injuries from bad ergonomics and so forth, being

03:50.400 --> 03:55.600
at keyboard a lot of the time, and all that sort of thing, and yeah, I'm sure we've all

03:55.600 --> 04:01.280
probably experienced something of this, it was a good show, it was interesting to hear,

04:01.280 --> 04:07.480
but it does sound awful, he's suffering quite badly, but he had some possible solutions

04:07.480 --> 04:13.760
in advice, so it was an excellent show I thought, and there were two comments on this

04:13.760 --> 04:20.760
one, first one was from Trey, and he says, thanks for sharing, it's been a while since

04:20.760 --> 04:25.280
I posted a show, and this is mostly due to physical limitations, which started with

04:25.280 --> 04:33.920
most shoulder, in quotes, and now 12 weeks post, rotated, cuff repair surgery, that's

04:33.920 --> 04:40.520
what gets damaged when you have a so-called mass shoulder, just as me interjecting, he says,

04:40.520 --> 04:45.160
I've been considering doing a show, or small series of shows about similar topics as they

04:45.160 --> 04:49.640
relate to the things we choose to do, and the potential physical impacts on a sold

04:49.640 --> 04:57.320
folk, I did hear a rumor that HBR could use a show or 10, he says, he's quite right, we

04:57.320 --> 05:03.920
did get quite a surge of shows early on in the month, but they're going to run out, I think,

05:03.920 --> 05:11.120
in a week or two, so we got 10 days, so we're still, we're constantly desperate for shows

05:11.120 --> 05:17.520
in fact, it's rare that we can just sit back and relax about the number of shows coming

05:17.520 --> 05:18.520
in.

05:18.520 --> 05:25.480
Second comment was from one of Spoon's, who says, character entry devices, have you heard

05:25.480 --> 05:32.080
of Kara Corder, a brand name for Cording devices, these devices help you reach typing

05:32.080 --> 05:37.400
these fees of up to 250 words a minute without moving your fingers very much, each finger

05:37.400 --> 05:42.400
switches like a mini joystick, devices are not cheap, but I think they sell the logic

05:42.400 --> 05:47.600
boards or USB pass through device, so you could compare 3D printing costs or wait for

05:47.600 --> 05:52.840
underpriced copies, they have a dot com website, I haven't file that one up myself, but that

05:52.840 --> 05:56.720
sounds really interesting, I'm not sure I have the coordination to do that sort of stuff

05:56.720 --> 06:02.680
myself, but there you go, next show was from migrae and it's entitled the bottom mine

06:02.680 --> 06:11.440
hoff phenomenon, this is basically the issue of when you've heard a name or a subject

06:11.440 --> 06:15.960
coming up at some point, something you've maybe not heard of before, haven't heard for

06:15.960 --> 06:20.440
a very long time, then you tend to keep hearing it over and over again, but you notice

06:20.440 --> 06:26.160
that same thing after encountering a few times, and I've never heard of it, I've heard

06:26.160 --> 06:33.960
of that by the bottom mine hoff issues in Germany, long ago, which might spoke about

06:33.960 --> 06:40.320
the Red Army faction, yeah I remember that, but I didn't know there was a phenomenon named

06:40.320 --> 06:45.200
after it, but quite interesting, it's good to learn, you think, there were two comments

06:45.200 --> 06:52.040
to this one, we had one from Viv, met a meta bar to mine hoff, it was the title, less

06:52.040 --> 06:57.320
than two hours after listening to this, I was watching the new young ones, Fortyth anniversary

06:57.320 --> 07:01.920
Blu-ray, near the end of the episode, the gang are outside the bank, they're about to rob

07:01.920 --> 07:07.920
and Rick says, yeah come on, Robin Hood, bottom mine hoff, those bank clerks didn't have

07:07.920 --> 07:12.280
to become bank clerks, they knew the rest when they took the job, let's just get in there

07:12.280 --> 07:20.200
and let them have it, so yeah, bottom mine hoff is probably a term and name, the floats

07:20.200 --> 07:26.360
around, but once you've heard it once, it triggers you to spot it again, I guess.

07:26.360 --> 07:32.200
Mike Ray says, I rest my case, this is happened to me many, many times and to most adults

07:32.200 --> 07:38.440
to us, respect, psychology interests me cognitive biases of all kinds in particular,

07:38.440 --> 07:43.880
the way human brains are so attuned to pattern recognition, the survival imperative, very

07:43.880 --> 07:49.200
very deep in our most native brain parts, the lizard brain, a lot of people call it,

07:49.200 --> 07:54.720
I think the argument is that you see a thing, an unusual thing, it's a pattern, it's a word

07:54.720 --> 08:00.960
pattern in this case and you tend to notice it more, so it's an interesting thing, it's

08:00.960 --> 08:05.280
well worth digging into more if it interests you, I think.

08:05.280 --> 08:14.640
The next we have Annie Stella's first show, which is entitled, my text focused journey into

08:14.640 --> 08:23.200
tech and there's quite a number of topics being talked about, I thought the show was

08:23.200 --> 08:29.760
excellent and it's Stella is a professional writer who interestingly uses e-max to a

08:29.760 --> 08:35.440
large extent, he's talking about all manner of things relating to writing and the

08:35.440 --> 08:44.560
things you can use to simplify the process, as I mentioned RSI, which is an interesting subject

08:44.560 --> 08:50.320
that's a bit of barred in my hub, isn't it, we just talked about RSI, anyway yeah I enjoyed

08:50.320 --> 08:55.840
this show very much, this was this was a great first show and we had one comment on it,

08:55.840 --> 09:03.920
which is from Brian in Ohio, he says, e-max rocks, great show, keep them coming, e-max rocks

09:03.920 --> 09:15.280
three exclamation marks, so the next one was from, this is show 3765 from Celeste, which is in

09:15.280 --> 09:21.840
type of fixing clock events in GBA Pokemon cartridges, there are no comments on this one but

09:23.120 --> 09:33.280
it was most interesting, it was quite a strange story that this cartridge, the device loses

09:33.280 --> 09:39.760
track of time in the battery fails and can't then be reset to the right time easily and so much

09:39.760 --> 09:48.160
in the game is dependent on time, so that's something of a problem, so yeah that's a lot of gamers

09:48.160 --> 09:53.760
so I've not really encountered this sort of stuff but it makes sense but it also seems like a

09:53.760 --> 10:00.960
dreadful design, it's fascinating to listen to, good show I thought, now I'm looking at the page

10:00.960 --> 10:09.360
for this show, I forgot to mention and it's coming up later but there's a tool called whisper

10:09.360 --> 10:18.480
which will have a lesson to audio and will produce various qualities of transcriptions and

10:18.480 --> 10:28.800
to can has been running whisper on shows as they come in and then adding a list of the files

10:28.800 --> 10:37.520
with the different transcripts textual transcripts so there's a TXT version and other ones that

10:37.520 --> 10:46.240
I don't really understand but yeah it's actually and I should also say he's also been working

10:46.240 --> 10:56.000
very hard to go back to the first show, HPR001 and process that and all the ones following up

10:56.000 --> 11:03.120
to present day, so we actually have transcripts of everything, now I think I'm right in saying

11:03.680 --> 11:09.520
it might be one of two gaps but we'll sort them out but they're really interesting that the thing

11:09.520 --> 11:18.160
does a good job of making transcripts, this is another AI tool, what should it come from,

11:19.040 --> 11:25.520
there's a link later on in the notes but I can't remember, so yeah this is this is quite a

11:25.520 --> 11:32.000
significant milestone in the HPR world I would say, I might mention that a bit later on

11:32.560 --> 11:41.040
at the end of this episode, next show is from Bookworm and it's called Asa Nitro 5 Laptop

11:41.040 --> 11:48.720
Review and he's talking about it's a show from a wild bag which he hadn't got around to

11:48.720 --> 11:55.280
sending in and it's a new laptop that he got and then he sent in there and he added a recent

11:55.280 --> 12:01.520
update to say it's been fine for the past two or three years but had a few issues so that's

12:01.520 --> 12:07.120
quite a useful bit of information if you were thinking of buying one of these for yourself

12:08.080 --> 12:14.800
two comments, this one Claudio M says good review but still avoiding gaming laptops,

12:14.800 --> 12:20.800
really enjoyed the review of the laptop especially the follow-up, still I've been turned off

12:20.800 --> 12:26.880
all gaming laptops in spite of the temptation they provide, I want to try to buy a electronic

12:26.880 --> 12:32.320
gaming laptop after reading good reviews from them but after a botched purchase attempt I decided

12:32.320 --> 12:41.280
to skip it and go with the used HP Pro Book for 540s which had radion and Intel graphics

12:41.280 --> 12:46.480
unbeknownst to the seller, over what really told me off on gaming laptops is when I attempted to

12:46.480 --> 12:53.520
repair my son's MSI gaming laptops keyboard, what a nightmare I had to remove everything to get to

12:53.520 --> 12:58.000
the keyboard and even then I wasn't able to replace the keyboard because the board of the ribbon

12:58.560 --> 13:03.760
was glued on from that point forward and at the site I'd go with the gaming desktop of the

13:03.760 --> 13:08.960
future and stick with laptops at a more serviceable something like the framework via their way

13:08.960 --> 13:17.040
but when replies reply to Claudio in a past life I was a certified HP repair tech they are very

13:17.040 --> 13:23.120
easy to work on to be honest the primary feature I was looking for was the additional drive

13:23.120 --> 13:28.560
base and graphics card I don't actually do much gaming on the laptop with two organ slots for

13:28.560 --> 13:37.120
SSD HDD I was able to add 128 gig shared drive and one terabyte OS drive for my Linux and

13:37.120 --> 13:43.920
store which is where I spend most of my time so fair enough it's a decision that you need to

13:43.920 --> 13:52.960
wake up obviously next we have a show from archer 72 which is entitled LP article from Wikipedia

13:52.960 --> 14:01.600
and in this case it's an article and Wikipedia articles you would have gathered about the LP record

14:01.600 --> 14:08.560
and it was 42 minutes long but I tend to look at that sort of show coming up and go oh

14:09.760 --> 14:15.680
I wonder if I'll be bored but I wasn't that was great I really enjoyed this it's um the reading was

14:15.680 --> 14:21.920
really nice and clear and the the content something I don't I'm gonna live through the LP record

14:21.920 --> 14:29.440
era uh bought them when I was a teenager and whatever um but uh yeah I don't I'm much about the

14:29.440 --> 14:35.520
whole subject so it was really good to to hear it I enjoyed this one a lot there was one comment

14:35.520 --> 14:43.920
and it was from Celeste and the title is r i a a curve and Italian youtuber video

14:43.920 --> 14:50.480
reading about r i a a equalization and vinyl discs made me remember about this video I watched

14:50.480 --> 14:56.800
some time ago I hope the automatic subtitles are good enough he made an LP disc out of chocolate

14:56.800 --> 15:03.760
engraving it on his own and applying the r i a a a equalization first being able to hear something

15:03.760 --> 15:09.440
out of the noise is quite cool and there's a link to the youtube video a chocolate outfit that's

15:09.440 --> 15:16.560
I think there's also a more recent one using laser engraver on wood instead of chocolate that's your

15:16.560 --> 15:24.640
LP melt slowly you didn't play it in fridge in a freezer or something interesting show though

15:24.640 --> 15:32.880
so next we had stash a f sending in a show entitled cheap ignition repair and this one's got

15:32.880 --> 15:40.000
a lot of pictures which always caused me a little bit of anxiety because my picture management

15:40.000 --> 15:45.840
of incoming shows is still not quite quite right but it's getting better and the pictures are

15:45.840 --> 15:51.760
great though they really help a lot to understand what's going on so he's doing doing repairs on his

15:51.760 --> 16:00.720
sheet and yeah it explains it well with pictures under and the audio of course there was a comment

16:00.720 --> 16:08.240
from one of spoons who says earpieces funny how you apologise for the gentle background noise

16:08.240 --> 16:15.520
of a distant airplane and sent many many lumb leaps into my well sealed earpiece i didn't

16:15.520 --> 16:22.240
notice that was a need to tie a piece of strings the phone or wine next time i've got my gloves in

16:22.240 --> 16:30.400
the group my mistake thanks for the show for yeah it's a loud noises and things can be a bit

16:30.400 --> 16:39.200
bit disturbing i didn't really notice myself next show was 3769 crashing laptop hidden server part

16:39.200 --> 16:46.560
zero from some guy on the internet and this is a the notes of this one just just enormous and

16:47.280 --> 16:54.880
amazing really good um being a show note efficient idler i tend to look at these things

16:54.880 --> 17:02.400
there was a discussion with archer 72 about prox mox a lot of information

17:02.400 --> 17:10.800
and it's for running virtual machines in a sort of server context is what i understood but

17:10.800 --> 17:18.000
i will admit i didn't fully fully get the nuances of this it sounds really a really good idea

17:18.000 --> 17:25.280
if that's what you need but you do need a fairly hefty machine to to get much out of it i think

17:25.280 --> 17:30.240
the other message i got but there's loads and loads of links in here so if this is something you

17:30.240 --> 17:37.120
want to dig into more deeply then it's a great resource so if i ever want to get into prox mox

17:37.120 --> 17:42.880
i know where to go the same with you there's no little comments on this particular one but

17:42.880 --> 17:50.960
certainly say it was a great show next show was from a hookah and it's about uh it

17:50.960 --> 18:00.720
his RV life as he puts it and he's in Arizona and he's in the town of Tucson so he says we move

18:00.720 --> 18:08.960
to Benson and can just side these tattoos on where we will stay for a month and he's um yeah i love

18:08.960 --> 18:16.880
the format of well i'd be along with him monies on his holiday that's great and um it's it's

18:16.880 --> 18:24.000
great to to follow along in this way and he's uh his notes and stuff uh presumably from his

18:24.880 --> 18:31.520
whatever journal he's been keeping it he's been been traveling next was a show from Paul Quirk

18:31.520 --> 18:38.080
who we haven't heard from for a while how i limited pain naturally and he says it's a some

18:38.080 --> 18:43.760
way i just got about managed to eliminate pain from carpal tunnel syndrome and osteo arthritis

18:43.760 --> 18:54.640
and he talks about using regular exercise to help reduce joint pains and stuff and uh he

18:55.200 --> 19:01.680
seems to be very enthusiastic about using an elliptical trainer tend to be called cross trainers

19:01.680 --> 19:10.320
in this country not really sure why but yeah the the thing about exercising to help with joint

19:10.320 --> 19:14.960
pains and stuff is something I'm particularly interested in at the moment because i'm signed up to

19:14.960 --> 19:24.240
a course with uh a sort of adjunct to the NHS called no field health there are charity and they offer

19:24.240 --> 19:32.480
joint pain relief exercise classes or workshops or whatever so i'm going to those great show

19:32.480 --> 19:40.720
most interesting and um Brian and Ohio comments music great show good encouragement nice tunes

19:41.440 --> 19:48.560
because some Paul uh Paul Quirk uh put some of his own music in and says if you're interested then

19:48.560 --> 19:56.560
let me know interested in more so next we have Andrew Conway currently at bosdam with with Ken

19:56.560 --> 20:04.560
and and others and he is talking about solar panels he's got uh the titles and adventures with

20:04.560 --> 20:09.600
the small solar panel and he's looking at the cheap solar panel and learning a bit about how it

20:09.600 --> 20:17.520
works and doesn't work so he's so looking into this in fair amount of detail and it's it's

20:17.520 --> 20:25.920
some good information there actually i didn't never really consider what a solar panel could

20:25.920 --> 20:32.800
do for you and how you how you can use it but this this covers the subject rather well i think

20:32.800 --> 20:38.720
there's a comment from Brian and Ohio who says good info the show is great lots of good

20:38.720 --> 20:44.960
information can't wait to hear more stuff like it yeah good it's a good show nice to hear Andrew

20:45.760 --> 20:52.400
on the hpr and uh there's another one coming up but oh yeah this month too yeah so we'll

20:52.400 --> 20:59.280
be doing about one shortly then we had another show from Mike Ray which is wonderful it's good to

20:59.280 --> 21:07.920
hear from Mike um always he's talking about my public speaking rules some tips on public speaking

21:07.920 --> 21:18.240
for technical talks or lectures and he's basically listing his rules for uh speaking in public

21:18.240 --> 21:25.440
in uh if you're nervous about it good to have some ideas about you gonna structure the thing

21:26.240 --> 21:32.240
ahead of time and uh yeah i think the rule is very valuable i mean he's he's

21:32.240 --> 21:37.840
item always itemized them all rather nicely there are number of comments this one is five

21:39.440 --> 21:47.040
empiredo says i must listen to all who aspire to speak to an audience a couple of thoughts

21:47.040 --> 21:53.280
prompted by this episode i have net i've given talks to hostile audiences or at least audiences

21:53.280 --> 21:58.960
with some hostile attendees i've given talks with our attendees that are only there i don't have

21:58.960 --> 22:04.960
them in talk that they must be there typically by their boss body language usually gives these people

22:04.960 --> 22:10.640
away once their recognised as hostile they can mostly be ignored allowing the speaker to focus

22:10.640 --> 22:17.440
on the people who indeed have chosen to be there whoever the hostile attendee is very rare i've

22:17.440 --> 22:22.400
found when including humour it's best to avoid a pause after the humour is delivered there

22:22.400 --> 22:28.240
is a tendency to pause to allow the audience to respond with laughter however if the humour does

22:28.240 --> 22:33.840
not succeed the pause would be very awkward it's so it's much better to go straight to the next

22:33.840 --> 22:39.520
statement after the humour if the humour works and there's laughter it pause mid-sentence post humour

22:39.520 --> 22:46.160
is fine start the interrupted sentence over when the laughter diminishes and all is good if the

22:46.160 --> 22:51.200
humour didn't work the lack of a pause allows the audience to continue listening enough and not

22:51.200 --> 22:56.160
even notice that there was an unsuccessful attempt at humour and the speaker does not suffer

22:56.160 --> 23:01.920
the embarrassment of appearing to try to be funny pauses are good but tricky when they follow humour

23:01.920 --> 23:06.560
just some thoughts from listening to this very good episode that's a really useful

23:06.560 --> 23:12.800
common I think trace says thanks for sharing very well presented mike i personally enjoy

23:12.800 --> 23:17.680
public speaking and teaching but i was still able to gain some nuggets of wisdom from your podcast

23:17.680 --> 23:22.880
even after years of speaking i still struggle with the meeting um uh etc

23:22.880 --> 23:27.600
it's usually happened if i lose my place i'm trying to work away from my original outline or answer

23:27.600 --> 23:32.960
a question i like your idea of pausing at these times when i gather my thoughts i will try

23:32.960 --> 23:40.880
i will try to apply this soon one of spoons says professional demeanour thanks prepared for preparing

23:40.880 --> 23:48.400
the context for me to shout from the audience array moon bouncing you're good mike ray

23:49.200 --> 23:54.000
comments back thanks very much to everybody i listen back to this when i was when it was published

23:54.000 --> 24:00.320
i hope the Christmas up and his title his message got truncated he was here we say

24:00.320 --> 24:07.360
all you bit Mary from from celebrating christmas so um he i think he's probably commenting

24:07.360 --> 24:12.000
of that oh yeah he says that in the next comment but let me read the contents of this one

24:12.560 --> 24:17.520
a couple of verbal ticks but not too many humour is best left out of tech talks unless you can

24:17.520 --> 24:22.560
poke gentle fun at yourself i was told several times by a writing coach to make my mind up

24:22.560 --> 24:27.040
but though i was writing something serious or something funny because the injection of a joke

24:27.040 --> 24:31.600
can pull the audience out of deep thought about what you're saying or writing which might be totally

24:31.600 --> 24:37.920
inappropriate i particularly like the three part rule thanks late and great Peter hotboard

24:37.920 --> 24:43.920
one of the at once of the LSE for that some forty years ago i think he mentions this in the

24:44.960 --> 24:50.960
in the talk itself in the church of then he comments again say that he messed up the last

24:50.960 --> 24:59.040
comment because of the the title truncation he says i messed up but it was meant to say i hope

24:59.040 --> 25:07.360
the christmas beard didn't make me break my own rules i don't think it did so yeah it was great show

25:07.360 --> 25:15.200
yeah my kiss is a it's a very knowledgeable person and i would like to hear his shows good to

25:15.200 --> 25:26.320
hear back on HBO then we went into an emergency show which was originally posted in 2014 it's called

25:26.320 --> 25:33.280
chomp car report and it's from David Whitman who we haven't heard from for a very long time

25:33.280 --> 25:41.280
and it's about racing series for five hundred dollar cars so he's talking about this sort of amateur

25:41.280 --> 25:49.600
cheap car racing thing the it doesn't seem to be as popular now as it was because i couldn't

25:49.600 --> 25:58.720
find any any links to chomp car stuff and the the links in the original show don't don't go

25:58.720 --> 26:07.760
anywhere i'd managed to resurrect them all i think by going to the way back machine so that was

26:07.760 --> 26:15.920
good but yeah it's it's an interesting thing so shame that these things are really popular and

26:15.920 --> 26:21.760
then vanish but that's the nature of the world and i'll be into it i guess so no comments on

26:21.760 --> 26:30.480
that one the next one was another emergency show from 2014 and it's how to make a punched card

26:30.480 --> 26:36.720
computer and it's from stuff make it from stopping the kitchen and it's from migrae and

26:36.720 --> 26:45.680
remember him sending this one in back then and i've never never listened to it before i found it

26:45.680 --> 26:50.880
fascinating my kids would have loved this when they were younger a bit old for that type of thing

26:50.880 --> 26:59.840
now but the idea of making it a serial box into a cardboard computer effectively where you can

26:59.840 --> 27:10.240
control which cards come out by pulling skewers out of it and stuff it's good the next we have

27:10.240 --> 27:17.440
other show from bookworm and it's called a Linux distra review and he's talking about

27:18.640 --> 27:28.640
zero Linux spelt with the next and it's a Linux version distribution which you can run on

27:28.640 --> 27:36.800
an older Intel based Mac and it's certainly really quite nice I didn't realize it's possible

27:36.800 --> 27:41.920
it had ever been possible to do that it sent in quite a lot of information and some pictures

27:42.800 --> 27:50.640
which we've good to see great believer in having pictures with shows if you can and yeah great

27:50.640 --> 27:56.320
show very interesting not thing i'll ever use personally but hopefully somebody will get some

27:56.320 --> 28:03.520
benefit from it and Brian and Ohio sends in a comment how to do it this is how you do a

28:03.520 --> 28:11.440
distra review a great episode that's a really nice comment next we have a show from cordia miranda

28:12.560 --> 28:19.520
which is running high coup on now i didn't know how to say this until i listened to him

28:19.520 --> 28:27.920
pronounced it many times b h y v e which is pronounced b h the b s d hypervisor which is quite

28:27.920 --> 28:34.160
knee actually i quite like that totally it talks about installing and running high coup r1 slash b to

28:34.160 --> 28:44.720
four on b h h. so this is as you say the b s d hypervisor for virtual machines and he's testing out

28:44.720 --> 28:51.600
high coup which is the b os i've looked at this i've never tried never run it but it was quite

28:51.600 --> 28:59.520
seen as quite a desirable thing a number of years ago remember being in all magazines b os was

29:01.520 --> 29:09.040
something that looked really really nice and judging by what Toby was talking about it it's it is

29:09.040 --> 29:16.240
so it is so it is so yeah i'm too busy doing other things to go go looking at these things

29:16.240 --> 29:21.680
it's great to have somebody else too for me so thank you Claudia no comments on that one

29:22.720 --> 29:30.880
then we have Zenfloater 2 that show entitled a squirrel being on google products and google

29:30.880 --> 29:37.600
security i made a quote being podcast about google products interoperability in their lousy

29:37.600 --> 29:48.800
security so he's some talking about google chrome books and android and some of the the

29:48.800 --> 29:55.760
the less desirable aspects of the way that these things are being organised and secured and whatever

29:55.760 --> 30:02.800
there are two comments one from Brian in Ohio who says two f a i was forced to set up two f a

30:02.800 --> 30:08.960
that's two factor authentication in order to use mut with my gmail account funny thing is

30:08.960 --> 30:15.360
when you log into gmail on a web browser on your phone use the gmail app google politely asked

30:15.360 --> 30:21.360
if you want to remember this to buy so you won't have to do f a anymore not only that the check box

30:21.360 --> 30:27.520
comes up pre populated with the check what good is to f a if you can buy a pass it with the check

30:27.520 --> 30:33.360
mug why make me do it in the first place and why populate the check box i'm moving to fast mail

30:34.480 --> 30:41.280
so yeah i think that's pretty pretty supportive of Zenfloater 2's view

30:41.840 --> 30:48.480
the next comment is from Johnny Lawrence which says woefully misinformed i'm a huge fan of

30:48.480 --> 30:53.440
aspera and everything it stands for that includes freedom of speech i also understand that episode

30:53.440 --> 30:58.400
should be viewed in an editorial context however i can't help but feel episodes like this

30:58.400 --> 31:04.160
dragged down the quality of the podcast as a whole the squirrel is just called man yelling at cloud

31:04.160 --> 31:09.920
and he sites what are you talking about no your mean old man yells at cloud i'm not at google

31:09.920 --> 31:14.800
apologies and i consider them pretty evil as a whole but so many of the things mentioned but just

31:14.800 --> 31:20.400
flat incorrect google doesn't control any cell phone networks they don't have any of their own

31:20.400 --> 31:25.200
towers claiming that the google is throttling your connection because youtube is fast and transferers

31:25.200 --> 31:32.720
from your home server a slow it's pretty big leap youtube content is served from a massive cdn

31:32.720 --> 31:38.000
which has peering agreements with i s p's all over the world that content is going to be served

31:38.000 --> 31:43.040
blazing fast from us anyway transfers over an SSH connection from a little desktop on a

31:43.040 --> 31:49.600
residential connection to a Chromebook tethered to a cell phone will never be comparable 3.3

31:49.600 --> 31:54.800
to a fa has little to do with vendor locking and everything to do with security i don't own any

31:54.800 --> 32:00.480
android devices my iphone and ipad can both be used as the second factor for google to a

32:00.480 --> 32:06.480
fa without issue before google has nothing to do with qr codes at all i could go on but i think

32:06.480 --> 32:10.880
you get the point i don't want to see fact check banners on episodes and i don't want to see

32:10.880 --> 32:16.800
post a sensor that in mind we have to do better as a community better episodes and higher quality

32:16.800 --> 32:22.960
content but all more listeners and thus more contributors let's up the bar and keep hbr live

32:22.960 --> 32:31.120
and there's a link to the old manuals at cloud meme next is from tray and uh it's in

32:31.120 --> 32:36.320
title just because you can do a thing dot dot dot dot this is what you can do with things does that

32:36.320 --> 32:42.800
mean you should he summarises hello hack a public radio app and this is tray and i'm throwing

32:42.800 --> 32:50.560
this recording together for several reasons and he's very kindly given us a show when we were

32:50.560 --> 32:59.360
running very low and uh he's also saying why he hasn't been posting as much but he the essence of

32:59.360 --> 33:06.960
it is that he he did did shows on installing pex piping around his house but he's suffering from it

33:06.960 --> 33:15.760
with shoulder pains and and that type of thing so he got rotate a cup of dishes and yeah yeah so that's

33:15.760 --> 33:22.160
that's great that's pretty great but nice to hear from him hope it soon soon gets better there are

33:22.160 --> 33:33.600
no comments on this one so where are we 3780 this is a hooker with Fediverse update may 2022

33:33.600 --> 33:42.640
his episode reports on some updates the Fediverse that I ran across in May 2022 so hooker makes

33:42.640 --> 33:52.800
it and posts send in him and we post shows quite a long time in advance and so here we we know

33:52.800 --> 34:00.400
that we've got shows out into the future which is great but tend to be to be still getting a teeny

34:00.400 --> 34:06.080
bit out of date I guess but but I thought it was a great overview of the state of the Fediverse

34:06.080 --> 34:13.520
and uh and an explanation of what and why it exists and uh in general excellent so the fact is

34:13.520 --> 34:21.280
talking about May is of no relevant really so yeah excellent everything that uh hooker tasks I really

34:21.280 --> 34:28.560
enjoy so it's always good to see one of his shows coming up now the next one next show is from Andrew

34:28.560 --> 34:36.800
Conway the second show this month it's entitled The Jewel thief where Jewel is J or ULE which is the

34:36.800 --> 34:44.480
energy measurement so the way we're saying it yeah it's a pun jewel thief as in stealer of diamonds

34:44.480 --> 34:51.920
or whatever so we talked about using the jewel thief to suck energy out of flat batteries and um

34:51.920 --> 35:00.560
he's describing a sort of old circuit I don't know whether the circuit's old or not actually

35:00.560 --> 35:07.760
seems very simple but quite hard to understand what it can do is it can use the residue

35:07.760 --> 35:15.360
the capacity of of what is tool intensive purposes of flat battery so an AA or AAA or something

35:15.360 --> 35:23.040
and uh the reason it's flat is because the voltage that it's producing is now lower than the

35:23.040 --> 35:30.080
M thing you're using it in needs most cases think that's right so um yeah this thing

35:30.960 --> 35:39.440
uses a mechanism which involves rapid switching and it can generate enough power enough voltage to

35:39.440 --> 35:50.640
light an LED and um and actually keep a string of LEDs running for for a while and it comes

35:51.520 --> 35:59.360
from name comes from big Clive Clive Mitchell who's a youtuber very very prolific

35:59.360 --> 36:07.440
I've mentioned him before and Andrew makes a connection to link to his video about this

36:07.440 --> 36:14.320
but it's an idea that that predates this video I quite some number of years definitely

36:14.320 --> 36:18.720
going to have a try building this myself I don't understand it but then I don't understand

36:18.720 --> 36:24.080
the electronics I don't know if there are people who do understand it better than the

36:24.080 --> 36:31.360
night here and who are up for doing shows about how I don't understand it a fascinating show

36:31.360 --> 36:40.480
and the links were good as well and led me to finding it more about it there is a comment

36:41.360 --> 36:48.720
which is from one of Spoon's candle pi he says the title I assume that these are more complicated

36:48.720 --> 36:54.400
boost modules I haven't realized they were so simple I've definitely got a bunch of those

36:54.400 --> 37:05.120
components thanks the components were a ferrite core or torus with two sets of wirings on an

37:05.120 --> 37:13.120
NPM transistor and a resistor I forget what the rating was but you'll easily find it if you go

37:13.120 --> 37:21.840
looking and um you make a circuit which is done some weird wonderful things and and it's capable of

37:21.840 --> 37:30.880
being used using old batteries great effect which I think it's amazing so the last show for

37:30.880 --> 37:38.240
January is through seven eight two content format article from Wikipedia Wikipedia article on the

37:38.240 --> 37:45.840
various types of content formats and this is submitted by archa 72 and it's some reading of

37:45.840 --> 37:53.920
Wikipedia article which it certainly is a slightly older article because it's sort of a generic

37:53.920 --> 38:00.880
thing about content format so it's everything from music to maps is what I've written down here

38:00.880 --> 38:09.040
and much more but it was again most interesting I am a great fan of Wikipedia so I'm always up for

38:09.040 --> 38:18.640
anybody to read right me pages it is nice and I read them a lot myself of course so yeah this is

38:18.640 --> 38:25.760
this is a great idea for a show I hope and yeah thank you very much so as we go through the

38:25.760 --> 38:33.520
the shows we read the comments associated with them and then we we'll to get comments which

38:33.520 --> 38:42.160
relate to shows from previous month so we then read those for that particular month on that

38:42.160 --> 38:47.600
particular month I should say so that there are eight comments which fit into that category on

38:47.600 --> 38:59.120
past shows relating to six previous shows so the first one is from Charles in NJ who sent in a show

38:59.120 --> 39:07.120
in 2013 called Doom's Day rule and he's commenting on his own on show Doom's Day Python code

39:07.120 --> 39:12.720
he says the code in the posted module still works in Python three until you come to the print

39:12.720 --> 39:19.040
statements in the main procedure those have to be changed print function calls one more quibmar

39:19.680 --> 39:25.120
Isaac Newton was born before the adoption of the Gregorian calendar so that example is not correct

39:25.120 --> 39:30.320
other than that the episode has stood up fairly well over time I can even stand to listen to it

39:30.320 --> 39:36.880
at one point six times speed so there you go that's that's quality stuff you come back

39:37.600 --> 39:45.600
years later and comment on your own show and suggest check yes updates whatever next show

39:45.600 --> 39:52.400
the next comment I should say is the on the show using noise torch by Delta Ray and it's from

39:52.400 --> 39:58.800
Ken Fallon says wow this actually works I don't saw this after noting noticing that conference

39:58.800 --> 40:04.400
calls were picking everything even when I was in the next room thanks Delta Ray for posting this one

40:04.400 --> 40:13.920
plus one from me so the the noise torch thing was to remove a lot of noise from from calls

40:13.920 --> 40:20.560
from recordings on your phone so pretty good pretty good not try it myself but I will do

40:20.560 --> 40:28.880
next one was comment on one of my shows which was entitled some thoughts on numerous names

40:29.600 --> 40:36.240
that's that thing where you write the long word down as the initial letter and the fun letter

40:36.240 --> 40:44.480
with the number of intermediate letters as a number so a 11y was the one that came to

40:44.480 --> 40:54.560
light meaning accessibility the nt's comment is pure obscurantism which is probably a

40:54.560 --> 41:00.800
numerous and it's not could be great PC says in my view numerous are pure obscurantism

41:01.600 --> 41:07.680
what is more atrocious is when people say it out loud I've been a call work where someone kept saying

41:07.680 --> 41:18.240
I 18n and L10n which is ludicrous I commented back to that thanks to nt I haven't heard many

41:18.240 --> 41:23.440
people say these things spelled out the way you describe but I may have been guilty of myself

41:23.440 --> 41:28.640
for I knew what they were just took the go away I don't like numerous names very much

41:28.640 --> 41:36.000
as a subcomponent of English great it's a short hand or something but the next comment was on

41:36.000 --> 41:44.000
then flow to two's show back in December God probably will use a Chromebook

41:44.000 --> 41:51.760
as called dnt says trippy as hell good show it reminds me of the day I only took a THC

41:51.760 --> 41:58.160
gummy probably my main takeaways that one can only hope to inspire a rebuttal show my

41:58.160 --> 42:05.440
Zen flow to two you haven't yet do read the short story the machine stops by EM Foster forster

42:05.440 --> 42:11.920
I've heard about it in Stuart Russell's 2021 rethlectures on BBC Radio which I also recommend

42:11.920 --> 42:18.000
and I read that comment actually this is me breaking in to say I've never read that book

42:18.000 --> 42:24.800
the machine stops you can get it off parkout.org and e-pub and I put it on my phone and I'm

42:24.800 --> 42:33.840
read it it's a strange but fascinating story but considering it's age so yeah we'd recommend

42:33.840 --> 42:40.720
reading it too so the next comment was on the show first admin job by Norrist war story

42:40.720 --> 42:46.560
I should say first admin job war story by Norrist and it's from Windergo who says what are

42:46.560 --> 42:51.600
who done it I really enjoyed this episode although as a dev currently dealing with some creative

42:51.600 --> 42:58.720
PHP code and hit a little too close to home thanks for the mysterious tale another comment on

42:58.720 --> 43:04.960
the same show from Brian in Ohio says love the show I never watch an IT but I love stories like this

43:04.960 --> 43:14.160
great work then last one in this category is show and chatting with DNT by some guy on the internet

43:14.160 --> 43:22.480
and one of Spooners is commenting saying risk five emulators mostly I wanted to mention

43:22.480 --> 43:34.880
risk five emulators QEMU can emulate but 32 bit and 64 bit risk five CPUs we have QEMU system

43:34.880 --> 43:45.920
risk the 64 is available to simulate a 64 bit risk five machine or QEMU system risk the 32

43:45.920 --> 43:52.080
executable to simulate 32 bit one sci-fi but still are planning to release a development hardware

43:52.080 --> 44:02.880
board there's some recording some page on the internet the high five pro p550 we now tend to go to the

44:02.880 --> 44:13.600
mailing list and read out messages there there's not a lot there's one from Ken where he mentions

44:13.600 --> 44:18.320
out just really quickly turns out we're going to be at the community advocacy section in

44:18.320 --> 44:23.600
prime position in the main exhibition area of the K building level one at fozden it's by far

44:23.600 --> 44:30.720
the most popular area as it is enters to the organization team office and the cloakroom and also

44:30.720 --> 44:37.200
one of the big lecture theatre should interject another from experience it gets absolutely nuts busy

44:37.200 --> 44:42.960
there during the event and it's nonstop for the entire weekend so if you are an HPR contributor

44:42.960 --> 44:49.200
or a free cognitive podcast going to fozden then please help us out at the stand and you also reach

44:49.200 --> 44:55.360
out to other podcasts to see if they could clarify their license to release it under creative

44:55.360 --> 45:01.280
comments as the exposure in the flost tech community is massive from this event if anyone has stickers

45:01.280 --> 45:07.600
that they want us to hand out please send them to me this week the other message on the list is

45:07.600 --> 45:17.440
merely to announce this recording which nobody can join because mumble is not being very friendly

45:17.440 --> 45:26.560
I tried to to mute Ken's channel but you can't do that unless you have more privileges than I

45:26.560 --> 45:34.960
have anyway it doesn't matter yeah I hope it's going well at the FCP table Ken and I've been putting

45:34.960 --> 45:42.160
together a list or for a freshing list of free cognitive podcasts which I've been keeping in

45:42.160 --> 45:49.440
a database and generating various reports that are being turned into handouts and into a website

45:50.560 --> 45:57.040
of the past month really and so hopefully there won't be comprehensive lists but it will be pretty

45:57.040 --> 46:02.720
pretty good and it's surprising that a number of people who it's very hard to determine whether

46:02.720 --> 46:10.480
their podcast is a creative comment on it or not any of them put in the copyright field of the

46:10.480 --> 46:17.120
feed that it's copyright over then whatever the name is or name of the podcast if you look on the

46:17.120 --> 46:24.080
website it will sometimes say everything we produce is creative comments but it would be great if

46:24.080 --> 46:32.560
it was in the feed any other business there are two things in the list and the first one is the

46:32.560 --> 46:37.600
showed transcript which I've really covered to a large extent we're using whisper there's a link

46:37.600 --> 46:42.720
to whisper if you want to go and look at it yourself Ken's been doing this project he's got a

46:43.520 --> 46:52.880
powerful machine which is able to do the transcription generation which I don't have and he's

46:52.880 --> 47:01.360
he's done all of the old shows and we we've added this to the workflow it's not quite finished

47:01.360 --> 47:08.480
they need a little bit more work to get the transcripts up on to archon.org automatically but

47:09.280 --> 47:15.760
it's doing good so that's great go and have a look see what you think the other thing was I've

47:15.760 --> 47:24.000
been talking about the re-uploads of shows for the past year probably at a long it's been going on

47:24.000 --> 47:32.400
for I've not been doing too many at a time because they've really a heavy load on the xbr machine

47:33.200 --> 47:40.320
the machine I'm running the uploads from and also on archon.org so I've just been doing like

47:40.320 --> 47:47.200
five or ten at a per day so take too long as the consequence but it's no finished I think I

47:47.200 --> 47:53.280
but intimated in the last show it was very close to the end of it is now finished so it's

47:53.840 --> 48:03.200
we now should have all files on archon.org that is all audio files every show any assets like pictures

48:03.200 --> 48:10.240
and stuff will be there so if hbr was not available for a while you could get all the bits of it

48:10.240 --> 48:20.400
kicking a show off archon or that was the point of the exercise so yeah that's all done so I'm going

48:20.400 --> 48:27.840
to go back on mumble not going to record anything but see how it's safe can's available and

48:29.840 --> 48:37.840
he's added amazingly busy from listening in earlier on I hope they are doing good that's it for

48:37.840 --> 48:45.120
me and see you next month bye
